Next Wave: Soft Metals
Soft Metal is a duo from Portland consisting of Patricia Hall and Ian Hicks who met at the audition for a band. Their mutual love is early 80's Synth-pop, EBM, Krautrock, Post punk, and the first wave of industrial music set the course. After a few sessions together the partnership proved to be exactly what they had both been searching for and Soft Metals was born in 2009.
Their collaboration eventually grew into a passionate love affair and the first result is a self-titled album release with Captured Tracks. They explore fantastical soundscapes which conjure the dramatic cinematic worlds of Dario Argento, Roman Polanski, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, and the Czech New Wave. Sounds very close to early William Orbit's outfit Torch Song.

Secession
Secession was a Scottish synth pop band that existed between 1983 and 1987. The original incarnation comprised Peter J. Thomson, Jack Ross, Jim Ross and Carole L. Branston. Secession was mainly on two different record labels during their short career: Beggars Banquet and Siren Records. They released a number of singles starting in 1983, until they released their only album, 'A Dark Enchantment', in late 1987.
Prior to being renamed Secession, the band played at least one gig as 'The Gift', during which Jim Ross performed with one arm in a full plaster cast following an accident. After a performance at Buster Brown’s nightclub in Edinburgh, the band were introduced to Hamish Brown, a local entrepreneur, who offered to manage them. This was followed by the addition of a fifth member, Alistair MacLeod (percussion and vocals), a friend of the original members who had also provided the photograph for the sleeve of the band's independently released debut single, "Betrayal".
Shortly after recording demo material at Palladium Studios in Edinburgh, Jack Ross, disillusioned with the direction the music was taking, left the band. MacLeod was then asked to divide his contribution between percussion and synthesizer/sequencing, and the band continued in this form for a short period of time until Jim Ross left, cutting the line-up to a threesome. This was the unit which produced the original demo of "Fire Island" at Planet Studios in Edinburgh, which subsequently came to the attention of Beggars Banquet Records A&R department.
After being signed by Beggars Banquet the trio re-recorded "Fire Island" at REL Studios in Edinburgh, later remixed by the production team associated with Freeez, John Rocca. Prior to its release, MacLeod left the band to concentrate on photography, and was replaced by Charlie D. Kelly.
The final incarnation of Secession, associated with almost the entire released catalogue, consisted of Thomson, Branston, Kelly, and J.L. Seenan. Their singer, Thomson, who penned their most commercially successful song, "Touch (Part 3)", died in the late 90's. After Secession's split, members Charlie Kelly and James Seenan co-formed Scottish pop band the Vaselines with Charlie's brother Eugene and Frances Mckee.

Andy Bell- Mimó
Andy Bell the frontman of the British duo Erasure has returned to the music scene under a new name. He recorded a new single "Will You Be There" under the name Mimó.

From this point forwards all further releases will be come out under Andy's own name. The track was produced by Pascal Gabriel and features several other remixes. This song and the single "Running Out" are streaming on the official Andy Bell website.
